Nearby Things to Do

Guests can take advantage of kayaks, snorkeling gear, sail boats, and windsurfers to enjoy the turquoise water in front of this beachfront hotel. Because this water is in a protected area, access to the ocean with sports equipment incurs a Mexican government tax of US$2 per person, per stay. Those staying on land can play tennis, run on a trail that encircles the resort, join a game of volleyball or billiards, or try their hand at shooting or archery. Plus, the resort offers a 300-meter (985-foot) stretch of Riviera Maya beach for pure relaxation.

Hotel staff at Excellence Riviera Cancun All Inclusive can help arrange outings for other activities such as snorkeling tours, deep-sea fishing, and scuba diving (surcharges).
